The majority of people don't care about the environment any more. That is the only possible reason I can think of to explain the rapid rates of species loss, which is second only to the wipe out of the dinosaurs, millions of years before our time. As technology increases, humans affect nature more. Maybe if we switched back to our ancient lifestyle, the earth would be saved. But that will never be the solution- it is not possible anymore. We have to find ways to make our modern lifestyle coexist with the environment. Our life and morals are ruled by money. We are more and more dependent on oil, and huge companies that are based on greed rule the capitalist world. America, once covered in forests, is now an endless chain of shopping strips. McDonalds are in every corner, blaring signs and streetlights blot out the stars, and smoggy pollution fills the air. Luckily, through the thick haze of filth we cover our Earth with, hope filters in. The same science that is causing the devastation of our world is also coming up with cures. Fuel-efficient cars come out every year, like hybrids. Species are studied and bred in zoos. Recycling has become part of our every day life. Despite the enormous efforts people are putting into preserving the environment, this still is not enough. There are just too many issues to fix, and at the heart of them is human overpopulation. According to scientists, our numbers will reach the carrying capacity around 2030. Anything could ensue, from mass starvation, overuse of all resources, to epidemics worse than the black plague. The time where families have twelve children is over. If the human population doesn't come under control soon, our future will be bleak. We cannot continue with our wasteful way of life. Saving the environment is not just about helping the cute and cuddly panda bear, it is about us. We are the ones who created these problems, and we must be the ones to fix them.

... “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground (NIV)(Genesis1:26).’” As a Christian we are commanded by God to rule over and tend to the earth. Many times we as a whole ignore the command of God, by being a destructive and wasteful society. Through many half hearted attempts we accept our failure to make a difference in our environment. We must begin to head God’s word’s and reevaluate the destruction we have caused to our environment. To be effective Christians we must daily live by the commandment of God, and reclaim the purity that our environment was created to be.
In Berry Wendell’s “In Distrust of Movements” it is stated, “People in movements too redily learn to deny others the rights and privileges they demand for themselves (pg. 331, Par 6).” This becomes a key statement in Barry’s argument on single-issue movements failing. However, the idea that movement will fail is valid on the basis of individuals blowing them out of proportion, but completely omitting oneself from the equation does little to solve the problem. If one does not try one can not succeed. The key to this issue is not to remove oneself from the goal of improvement, but to improve oneself in their way of thinking. One must set boundaries in their movement, and constantly evaluate the message that is given. We have to...

...have to first learn the art of saving then only you can earn more in your life by the way of investing your savings. Be a responsible person don’t spend lavishly or on things which are expensive and not required or important for your life.
Try to spend on things that are of basic necessity in your life and save rest of your money. You can use your saving as capital and start your own business or can fund it to companies that you might feel will make great profits in future, and with that profits you may end up buying things you really desire to possess in your life.
There are many ways through which one can save in life, start by controlling your expenditure. Make a list of things you want to buy before going to the market, and shop according to your list. Do not buy anything extra and exceed your expenses. Stop going to shopping malls and end up buying things are costly and unnecessary.
Penny saving can be done in many forms. You can start by focusing your electricity and telephone expenses. Electricity and telephone are two things on which one can save a lot. In case of electricity one can save lots if one remains alert and switch off lights and fans and other electronic item immediately after their use, you can also install solar tube lights and fans. Similarly in case of telephone you can save by buying an affordable model and talking less on phone.
Thus, we see this phase is still applicable in the...

...experience for most economies in the world, certainly not for developing countries.
In this context, savings and investment become important variables whose determinant and dynamics that we want to understand for affecting positively the rate of economic growth. A growth boom can be driven by positive terms of trade shock, the discovery of natural resources or the adoption of pro-growth economic policies. To support and consolidate growth beyond a boom phase, investment is a critical vehicle to create productive capacities and probably generate knowledge spill over and technologies. At the same time, ensuring an adequate level of national saving is important as foreign savings can be volatile and lead to sudden stops that force costly macroeconomic adjustment and eventually growth crisis.
The relation between saving and investment involves an analytically important and critical policy issue of great relevance. First, the discrepancies between intended saving and desired investment creates macroeconomic fluctuations and growth cycles in a world of less than perfect price and wage flexibility. Second, the causality between saving, investment and growth can run in various directions, depending on how the economic theorist views the working of the economic system at macro level. Third, in a world of capital mobility, we want to know how close the relationship between domestic...

...﻿External communication
Communication with people outside the company is called “external communication”. Supervisors communicate with sources outside the organization, such as vendors and customers. External communication comprehends all information developed by the company, which is related to its activity that is released in the press, for public knowledge. Such information is crucial in order to promote the company's image. External Communication is used for:
1. Through ensuring the information flow from various stakeholders to the organization, they help to meaningfully define the organization's environmental policy, targets, as well as operational performance, environmental condition and management performance indicators.
2. Through ensuring the information flow from the organization to various stakeholders they promote the credibility of the organization.
3. Image management is one of the company's most relevant concerns, not only because of its own presentation, but also because it is considered to be a success-factor.
It is commonly assumed that the most important image is the perception image, as far as impression formation is concerned.
4. Public relations include ongoing activities to ensure the organization has a strong public image. Public relations activities include helping the public to understand the organization and its products. Similar to effective advertising and promotions, effective public relations often depends on designing and implementing...

...Saving Water, Saving
Environment!!

Period 2
• Water is a precious resource, but not infinite, thus saving
water is always essential even in areas with abundant
water resources. In addition to saving household
spending, saving water also helps prevent depletion of
groundwater resources, prevent water pollution in the
basin.
• California is the most productive agricultural state in the
union, and agriculture uses 80 percent of California’s
water. In a year with practically none of the stuff, that’s
enough to send ripple effects throughout the country.
1.Estimated potable water savings for
residential homes in Southern California.
Freshwater use in California
• The largest percentage of water consumption (77%) in
California is attributed to agriculture (Figure 1) with an
estimated 13% for urban residential use (both single- and
multi-family). In Southern California (the South Coast
Hydrologic Region), however, about 54% of the water
consumption (Figure 2) is attributed to urban residential
use, which accounts for the largest usage of potable water
by the municipal and industrial (M&I) sector (i.e., the urban
sector). Although use of water by the M&I sector in the
South Coast Hydrologic Region represents a small fraction
of California’s total water use (~6%), the loss of even a
small percentage of this potable water apportionment can
have significant impact on the quality of...

...Devising a strategy should be a product of logical and external analysis, yet often appears to be a product of the power of stakeholders. Discuss using recent business examples.
Johnson and Scholes (2002) p10 define strategy as “the direction and scope of an organisation over the long term, which achieves advantage for the organisation through its configuration of resources within a changing environment and to fulfil stakeholder expectations.” A strategic plan is therefore large scale future oriented activities that allow interaction with the competitive environment in order to achieve company objectives. It follows that strategic management is the process whereby a strategy is formulated, evaluated, and continuously improved. Strategic planning flows from the definition of an organisation’s vision, mission and objectives and subsequent environmental scanning, to understand the organisation’s strategic position with respect to the macro external environment, its industry, competitors, internal resources, competencies and expectations and influence of stakeholders. (Stoner, Freeman and Gilbert, 1995) This initial process establishes a basis for strategic choice by means of a match of identified strengths to opportunities. The translation of strategic choice into action is then implemented across all levels of the organisation through programmes, resources, technologies, and performance management structures. (Johnson and Scholes, 2002 and Davis, 2005) This essay focuses on...

Writing Assignment 4: Saving Money Is Not Saving Anyone
We, the consumers of America are always trying to get the most “bang for their buck”, often times without realizing the true consequences of such actions. In a world where we’ve been told most our lives that saving money is good thing, you can’t really blame us. We shop at Wal-Mart, clip coupons and sometimes turn into savages on Black Friday. However, we tend to forget the saying “there is no such thing as a free lunch”; there is always someone who suffers when someone benefits. So cheap shopping is really just cheap buying which in-turn means cheap wages on the other end. Furthermore, we seem to think that all these rock-bottom prices and blockbuster deals are necessary and almost justified because of our false perception that prices have continued to go up over the last decade. Since most production is now being done overseas, the consequences of our “addiction” don’t seem to be noticed by most Americans.
Before watching this video, I would have definitely said that prices have been on the rise for the last 10 years. Looking back, I realize that this assumption was largely due to the media coverage of one of the most consumed American goods: gasoline. Anytime that gas prices spike up even the slightest, you are going to hear about it. I can’t believe that I’ve lived as a consumer over the past 10 years and now (after watching the video) am just starting...
